I am not one to write reviews (especially negative ones), but this was the worst place I have ever stayed in. The bathroom was dirty. There was a constant beeping throughout the night which kept us up. The fire alarm went off twice in the night for no apparent reason. Once at 2am and once at 2:45am. You can hear everything in the rooms around you. The rooms are insanely hot but if you open the window it causes the bathroom door to bang. We had to keep it shut because the bathroom stank. It felt unsafe. We left at 3am.

Stayed here for one night only. It is about 5km from Airport Departures. I walked from the airport which took an hour (not recommended) ,but next day caught the bus back which was only 10 minutes (recommended). …

Though the room was very large and the cheapest option (with long stay airport parking) it felt unclean and quite unsafe. We were left with no towels, a bright light shone into the room most of the night and we could hear guests coming and going all night. Even with towels we wouldn't have used the shower. The bed was the worst I have slept on, you could feel the springs and it sank into the frame below. Since staying we have seen previous reviews about bed bugs and feels very lucky to have avoided them. Definitely worth paying more and staying elsewhere

The room was very big and warm, nicely decorated it, but not very clean, and the mattress felt quite old. There is no amenities like a drink machine where you can buy drinks or snacks. When asking a member of staff if they could wake me up to get my taxi, said it would not do it, as it happens before and people get annoyed if they miss the flight, and told me to set an alarm. If you are looking for an acceptable prize a goid room for a night close to the airport, yes, but I am afraid you cannot expect an excellent quality as others.

it was damp, dirty, and extremely dated, and I checked out shortly after arriving and went to the Novotel nearby. It is simply the worst place I have ever set foot in. …

Booked this as I had an early flight and had to be at the airport for 5.15amIt's cheap and cheerful, although there is no soap in the shower. But it comes with a kettle with tea/ coffeeIt was only an 11-minute ride to the airport. The receptionist drove me , cheaper than local taxi

Tough to recommend. Place was dirty, showers were cold, and the walls are so thin you can hear everything from the room next to you. Beds/pillows weren’t comfortable. Windows have safety locks which means in the heat of the summer you will be horribly hot. Host was nice, and location is convenient (about 20 min to the closest bus stop that’ll take you to the airport. Sadly, the taxis were all around £15-20 for a 4 minute trip. Limited amenities. There’s a TV but it’s tiny, and I wasn’t provided with a remote.

The website advertised food ,bar and breakfast but none of these are available. Changed rooms twice as both were not acceptable. Not tea or coffee facilities in the room shower was filthy hardly any water coming out of shower head. Spoke to the owners who just smiled and said it's all opening soon. Not happy. One night stay thank god.

AVOID - I arrived late, solo traveller. Nobody on reception, I buzzed 3 times. I thought it may be self check in, the computer system was open for anyone to see the details of all guests, along with which room they were allocated and how many were in their party. The lock on my door was broken too, with no way of securing the room. Data protection and personal security issues were obvious. Needless to say, I didn't stay. I felt less at risk driving for 3+ hours home at 2am.

As soon as I got to the hotel I was told they don’t have a key for my room, so the receptionist would have to let me in every time I went out to the room. I asked if they had a different room so I had access to a key, he said no. …
